    So you should be. If you would bother to write plainly and politely you 
would find the people you characterise as luddites on your side.

 > I'm tired of covering the same ground over and over.
 > Actually, I'm tired of arguing about it, period.

    Get over it! You are advocating change.

 > Everyone's taken their sides, there's little point in
 > it anymore.

    Scott, I have very little to say. All you had to say was that the system 
you advocate would run in parallel with the standard distribution nodelist. You 
didn't say it. That appears to be the only mistake you made other than being 
rude to all and sundry because they did not and could not understand what you 
didn't say.

    The following advice is as old as FidoNet(TM) itself - "Just do it!"

Best Wishes,
Bill.
